Technology
It’s not only the electric motor that’s cutting-edge. The KIA EV6’s in-car tech brings comfort, convenience and pleasure to every journey.
A pair of 12-inch screens give you full visibility over all systems - comprised of a digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system. There’s even an AR head-up display system that shows vital information to the driver on the windscreen, including sat-nav directions and current speed.
High-end Meridian Premium Sound outputs detailed highs and loud lows throughout the cabin, creating a memorable audio experience.
Other advanced systems help to make your life easier, including Smart Parking Assist. Use this feature for fully autonomous bay parking. You activate it, get out of the car and let the EV6 park for you! No more bundling in and out of one side due to tight parking.
Highway Driving Assist 2 works as part-autonomous adaptive cruise control, keeping you a set distance from the car ahead with an automatic lane-changing feature. The cutting-edge tech doesn’t end when you’re parked up either: Safe Exit Assist alerts passengers exiting the car of oncoming vehicles.
There’s a lot of technology to be excited about with the KIA EV6.
